Features: From the establishment of the Sino-Soviet alliance and mutual assistance relationship in the late 1940s to the formation of the China-Russia strategic cooperation partnership in the mid-1990s, this was a historic transformation. The development, evolution, and distinct characteristics of the Sino-Soviet alliance and the China-Russia strategic cooperation partnership have had a profound and far-reaching impact on the history and reality of both China and Russia (the Soviet Union). The historical lessons of the Sino-Soviet alliance's transition from friendship to rupture serve as an important reference for further developing relations between China and Russia (the Soviet Union). The relationship between China and Russia (the Soviet Union) is exceptionally complex and differs from the relationships between ordinary nations. Whether during the period of the Sino-Soviet alliance and mutual assistance or the period of the China-Russia strategic cooperation partnership, this complexity remains. Conducting a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of such a complex relationship and seriously learning from historical experiences and lessons holds significant reference value for China's peaceful rise.
